October 23, 200916 yr All, From a version file with unRaid 4.5beta 2 - May now read arbitrary files on disk and user shares via http protocol by referencing URL 'http://tower/share/<diskN>/...' or 'http://tower/share/user/<sharename>/...' (substitute 'tower' with your server name). I can't seem to get this to work.. I will try the url "http://tower/user/Movies/" and I would expect to get a listing of files that I have in my Movie's share, but no dice. Will this only work for accessing 1 specific file. Can I not browse the share?
October 23, 200916 yr Will this only work for accessing 1 specific file. Only 1 specific file that you know the full name of Can I not browse the share? Not via this method yet. I do not know about the future. Directory indexing is not available in emhttp right now. I suppose if you created your own directory index.html file from a batch script run on the directories, then you could browse to that. then jump to another file.
October 23, 200916 yr Works fine for me.... make sure you ave Windows explorer set to show hidden and system files though.
October 24, 200916 yr Author Bubba, are you saying you can browser a folder? or just see a specific file?
October 24, 200916 yr Author Bubba, Just realized, I was talking about doing this over http vi IE you are doing a normal share network map which works fine..

Do you know how spaces and parenthesis are handled? If I had a share if my directory sturcture was /Movies/The Usual Suspects (1997)/my movie.mkv how would i reference this via the url?

Protocol states that certain characters are to be encoded. http://www.eskimo.com/~bloo/indexdot/html/topics/urlencoding.htm I do not know if emhttp handles this correctly. It should, but then again, file browsing was a later enhancement. In addition, the client still needs to encode the string correctly. Usually when a http server supports directory indexing(browsing) it does this in the AREF url and is not seen by the client.
